LOCAL MULTIPOINT DISTRIBUTION SERVICES DEFINITION (continued): for broadband Internet service. Depending on the implementation, LMDS offers a bandwidth of up to 1.5 Gbps downstream to users and 200 Mbps upstream from the user. A more typical data rate is 38 Mbps downstream. Some services offer both downstream and upstream service (symmetrical service); others offer downstream only (asymmetrical service) with upstream being obtained using wire connections.In addition to the investment by service providers for transmitters, users need to install transceivers costing about $125-225.
